Well-marked trail. Trail with brambles at the beginning. For a walk that is supposed to be accessible to families, we found the particularly steep climb difficult. Be sure to wear good shoes and be in good physical condition.
The scenery is worth the detour.
We avoided taking this trail on the way back. We went through the village of Carol, so plan to return via the departmental road to reach the vehicle parked in the church car park.

We avoided the private path next to the church and took the path with quite a lot of brambles.
The first slope is quite steep but perfectly manageable.
We returned via the village of Garrigue as recommended to avoid the steep paths...which I would not advise as we had parked in the church car park and had to walk almost 1.5 km along the main road with our children to get back to the car. Not safe at all!

In my opinion, this route requires excellent physical condition. Someone like me, with slightly reduced mobility, should not attempt this route, even with a companion. I learned this the hard way on Friday 23 August when I had a bad fall, fortunately without serious injury, in the first section just above Carol. I would say that even the second section, along the cliffs and especially at the end, requires good physical condition.

This hike is rated as easy, but we found it quite difficult due to the climb.
After the pylon indicated on the route, it is possible and even advisable to descend via the village of Rappy rather than retracing your steps.
Otherwise, it's a superb hike with exceptional views of the Ariège Pyrenees

A beautiful hike with a fairly difficult uphill climb. I would rate the difficulty as moderate rather than easy. Otherwise, beautiful views of both valleys.

A pleasant short hike, done with a 6-year-old child. The trail is well marked with yellow signs, so there's no risk of getting lost. I would recommend going after a few days of dry weather, as it was muddy in places and the descent was a little tricky with a young child. It's a shame that the higher up areas aren't more open, as the few gaps offer views of the magnificent landscape.

a pleasant, short walk, shaded and easy to do on the same day as the Roquefort waterfalls. Due to the lifting of lockdown restrictions, there were a lot of people... without masks...

The climb at the start of the route (almost halfway) is quite tiring. Fortunately, it is well shaded and very pleasant as it is in the middle of the woods. Once at the castle, the view is magnificent and the climbing walls are quite impressive
We had to come back down quickly because of a storm, but overall it was a good walk

A pleasant short walk
Please be careful at this time of year, as after heavy rain the path can be slippery and muddy in places. Wear suitable footwear.

Thanks, yoman72, for clarifying that at the start of the hike. I've included it in the description.

A very pleasant walk as the path is shaded throughout. The view of Roquefort-les-Cascades is magnificent. To start the walk, I recommend going around the church on the right, crossing the cemetery, to avoid going through the private garden. There is a "No Entry" sign on the way back.

The only downside is the difficulty rating
I didn't find this route easy; it's quite steep
I wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't used to walking or to children
I would say that the difficulty level is fairly average
